See http://kaldi.sourceforge.net/ for documentation (may not always be fully up to date). This documentation is generated by running "doxygen" from the src/ directory, and appears in src/html/ I assume that the reader would like to (1) build the toolkit and (2) run the example system builds. To build the toolkit: see ./INSTALL. These instructions are valid for UNIX systems including various flavors of Linux; Darwin; and Cygwin (has not been tested on more "exotic" varieties of UNIX). For Windows installation instructions (excluding Cygwin), see windows/INSTALL. To run the example system builds, see egs/README.txt If you encounter problems (and you probably will), please do not hesitate to contact the developers at https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=kaldi-developers In addition to specific questions, please let us know if there are specific aspects of the project that you feel could be improved, that you find confusing, etc., and which missing features you most wish it had.
